The Summary of all these is that the Nigerian Police really need serious image redemption,for what most NIGERIANS have been saying and have gone through -is very true,e.g ---why chasing Okada in Modern times?
- why chasing a Danfo- buses,in Modern 21- Century?
- why Standing on the Roads or Outskirts of the Town/ Cities- Collecting bribes/Egunje - With Your Uniform on, even with Gun on and is like you are Armtwisting the People to force them give you Money.Thst is Not Voluntary Act!
- why do you love to impact injustice- on a very simple matters brought to your Offices?
The Whys is so Unable.
-Can you see,why People were just laughing,at your situation in the Pit,as they are Not ready to help.
-Why Should A Police Officer Not Familiar With the Environment He/ She Is Operating Very Well?
This is Embarrassing!
This is not how it is done elsewhere with their Corps.
•Police should be Responsible and Respected all over the World 🌎 but see how low- ours is and may be Nigeria Police Authority should start a good image laundering - with New Recruitments and Good pay - for their Personnel to change the dynamics.

E no go beta for who give am ladder to come out.

Police must change it's ways, you people have turned police station to business and manipulation centres.

Government should increase the allowance and package of police so they are well catered for.

All questions asked here is the truth. The NPF needs serious revamping.

1 - paying them very well. The least policeman should take #200k salary .

Thundafireseun:
The sad reality is that the idiot will still chase another motorcyclist immediately he gets out of the gutter

Maybe that’s where God wants him to be…

Nigerian Police Officer Allegedly Falls into Pit While Pursuing a Biker

A trending video of a policeman who fell into a street gutter in Lagos has sparked widespread conversation online.

In the viral footage, the officer is seen at the bottom of the pit, struggling to climb out as bystanders gather around, peering inside to check on his condition. A ladder was later brought to help him out of the ditch.

However, the reaction from many social media s has raised questions — why are so many people seemingly amused or pleased by the incident? Could this reflect the public’s general sentiment toward the Nigerian police?

The video has been widely shared across platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), with s flooding the comments section to express their thoughts and concerns.

Watch the viral video below.

E better die

Maliqcious:
That man leg no break so

I am sure his legs broke because there is no way he fell straight in, he must have hit the corners of the concrete wall while falling before getting to the depth.

They should take him to the hospital because I am very sure he has internal injuries. Not to talk of the waste and shit he must have swallowed down there

Was he not watching?

This goes on to show the hostility between the people and the police. The chain of trust is broken.

He was just trying to go undercover

Anybody wey give am ladder go lose him phone before 3 Eke Market Days



So shall it be!

Werey ti shegbey...

Snake ke, abi alligator or crocodile cus them dey dey inside gutter like that

With this kind of depth, this guy will have fractures.

Babangidapikin:
Lagos State Government should pay compensation and cover the hole, it could be anybody next time ... Oyo State Government and Federal Government should ensure bar rails on their bridges or anywhere that has a deep hole to fall in, some of us would be on our phone not looking.

Vandals use to remove them. Even on 3rd mainland bridge, they use to remove them. Streets demarcation not left out.

Why will someone in his right senses build a gutter deep as this and not cover it?

MemoriesAndMe:
Why should a gutter be left uncovered anywhere in Nigeria in the first place?

Anyone could have fallen into it in the dark, that included the vulnerable ones like the old, pregnant, kids and handicapped.

This shouldn't have been left uncovered at all.

Caution tape is there, seems works are still going on there, it is either the Okada rider edged him into the gutter or the Policeman concentrated on the bike man, so he didn't take note of the gutter.

Olu1000:
This police man could easily have died had that sink hole been filled with water or if it was raining ! And they will say the former drug Lord built Lagos! Why should such a big drainage be left uncovered ? What if someone falls in there at night and no one notices ? God help Nigeria!

Don't die before your time. That's a Mega drainage where smaller gutters are, Abia government showed them here. Smaller gutters run into it, to curb or minimize flooding.
A Caution tape is there, that means work is still going on there.

Its either you are a police or you haven’t been a victim of police brutality

This is a wake up call to all policemen. Imagine despite being in such horrible situation, people were mocking and cursing him. Even an aboki cursed him in Yoruba language, that is laughable though. They should amend their ways so that the society can embrace them.

I was shocked like Buhari for his fall

COMRADES, I think the officer is a gallant police officer, I think this is how police are trained to be gallant
By the way, this is a stale news, I don read am for another platform since, why Nairaland too dey like to feed us with stale news on this forum? A member will a current or live news story but unfortunately due to their inexperience and bias they will ignore it on the section

Abi uber driver,carried female rider from ademola adetokunbo v.i going to lekki phase one,around 1a.m ,so infront of Lekki Phase One entrance, police flagged me down, I turned off my headlights and turned on inner light.
Officer: Uber,uber Park her,park well
Me: olopka of the federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬
Police officer: (not smiling) walked fast towards engers side,Madam ,I want to search you
Female 😮 surprised, say what !?
Police officer: i want to search your purse.
Points his halogen bright torch light through window glass...(open it very well,let me see )
Female rider( grudgingly opened her handbag
Police officer: (...not satisfied,) Madam come down for thorough searching...
Lady: I am not coming down from this car,do all your search and let me go,it's morning already, I must go home and prepare for work
Then arguments started, both shouting at each other.
Then she called a man friend, one of the big boys in Ikoyi ,who in about 10 minutes showed up in another uber car.
Man friend: officer,why is she stopped?
Police officer: I flagged the driver down for a stop and search ,she refused to corporate, she insulted me ,even after hidding SOMETHING INSIDE HER PANTS!!!
Man friend : Uber driver,is it true
Me: I was so 😲 shocked,the rider was in front seat ,I didn't noticed anything of such ,so I persuaded him to meet the officer to continue the explanations of how she hid something inside her something...

Police threatened to called NDLEA,RRS,CIVIL DEFENCE CUSTOMS 😳 and another female officer to check this rider thoroughly...


At long last,around 3a.m,the story changed to ..how much you get there?

She had just 2k,they reluctantly collected it and gave me back my car key and papers to go .


Police officer said,go and drop off the wahala 👩 woman
